BIG TRUCKS equal BIG FUN for kids (both big and small)! On BIG TRUCK DAY, the Baltimore City Departments of Public Works (DPW), Transportation, General Services, Recreation and Parks, Police, and Fire will have their big trucks on display for kids to see, touch and sit in.

BIG TRUCK DAY will take place Saturday, May 12, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of the Baltimore Museum of Industry, 1415 Key Highway. This event is free and open to the public.

These are the big trucks that clean, repair and keep the City safe! Police cars, trash trucks, street sweepers, fire trucks and other vehicles will be on display and available for some kid-friendly inspections – and horn blowing! 

Vehicles on display will also include “Big Bertha,” the City’s largest tow truck, along with police vehicles and Vactors, Bobcats, load-packers, bucket trucks, rescue vehicles and a BIG BIG BIG fireboat – that will perform a ginormous water display.
